  1. That is extraordinary to achieve a dragon in-flight shot of such overall clarity! Their wings beat so very fast. Superb photography and a delight to see. Posted 5 years ago
    1. Thank you Ruth! They are very curious and territorial. They fly around and used to come close and inspect you. Very funny creatures. They rarely land, always in the air. Posted 5 years ago
